oil canister what am I missing?
Seems I’m missing a bushing or something or I have wrong filter. It’s a motor craft fl-20. Way to much clearance. I tossed the old one now I am wondering if there was a reducer stuck on it. Oh it’s off a 46’ motor I am putting together

Re: oil canister what am I missing?
Ironic that this post comes up now. See the discussion thread from yesterday titled "Oil Filter Canister Blues". His canister has a bushing thingy that he thought shouldn't be there, was trying to remove it.
Maybe different canisters take different filters with different diameter center holes. |

Re: oil canister what am I missing?
You need this filter. It fits the cannister. Other filters are ADVANCE AUTO #L20701, MOTORCRAFT FL-20, Hastings LF 101 and the one most folks on Fordbarn recommend WIX 51006.https://www.bing.com/search?q=purola...ANAB01&PC=HCTS

Re: oil canister what am I missing?
If you Google FL-20 filter, you will see that it comes with some gaskets and washer type seals. Maybe they were not in the box when you purchased the filter. I use Fram C4 or Wix 51006 in my '46 Coupe, and on one occasion, there was no gasket when I opened the box. I guess someone else needed one.

Re: oil canister what am I missing?
The filters I use have a bail on the top to pull it out when you’re changing it…. Yours isn’t upside down is it?…..my filter canister has a crown shaped washer in the bottom that keeps the filter up off the bottom of the canister…..Mark

Re: oil canister what am I missing?
The filters normally have a grommet top and bottom that make it a reasonably tight (sliding) fit on the central column.
